Bear Cottage

"Where we cannot add years to life, we add life to years. But only with your help".

Bear Cottage is the only children's hospice in NSW and provide support, respite and end of life care for terminally ill children and their families. Located on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Bear Cottage is a medically supported home away from home.

At Bear Cottage our special children find love, care, laughter, fun and support. This holistic approach is achieved through regular respite, specialised camps, end-of-life care, bereavement support and much more.

Bear Cottage is there for every child, parent, or family who needs us and they will never have to pay a cent. But there is a cost. It's currently costs more then $2.3 million a year to keep our doors open and this is raised entirely through the generosity of people like you.

Thank you for helping us to provide a little happiness today.
